Hi Filmguy, I'm not familiar with chilblians, but it doesn't sound pleasant at all. It's good you have a confirmed diagnosis and are starting treatments. Let's hope it helps lots! I felt sick when I first started Plaquenil, too, but it does subside as your body gets used to it. 
Hope your upcoming appointment goes well. Making a list is a good idea so you don't forget things you need to tell or want to ask.
